I recently reviewed a white paper from Tabnine titled "Measuring the Impact of AI Coding Assistants." The paper listed a number of research reports that detail how developers using AI tools can improve their productivity.?

This reinforces the choice of Tabnine as our preferred IDE plugin for code completion, particularly due to its robust security and compliance posture.

AI coding assistants can enhance team productivity, improve code quality, and maintain competitive advantage. However, it is crucial to carefully plan and consider their adoption across your software development teams.

As leaders in leveraging AI tools in software development, Forte Group aims to not only adopt these technologies but also to set an example in the industry. By integrating advanced AI coding assistants like Tabnine, we demonstrate our commitment to innovation and excellence in our development processes.

Throughout my professional career, I faced situations and challenges that were crucial to my growth. What has always intrigued me about the world of DevOps is how each company interprets this practice and applies different approaches.

When I imagine how a DevOps team should be, I envision a group that collaborates closely with developers and quality assurance teams to simplify their daily routines.

As DevOps engineers, we are enablers, existing to support the development team and make their work smoother. We want the dev team to focus on creating solutions, while we take care of the infrastructure and its proper deployment.

I wrote a three-part blog series on "DevOps 2.0." I invite you to read the posts:

Part 1: From Operators to Enablers

Part 2: Types of DevOps Teams

Part 3: How DevOps Teams Create Business Value
